PSG (1-3) and Brest (1-0), two setbacks that hurt AS Saint-Etienne who remained before these two meetings in 4 games without defeat including two straight wins against Clermont (3-2) and Troyes (0-1). Two bitter-tasting defeats in view of the facts of the game which clearly did not help ASSE. And this is what Adil Aouchiche emphasized.
In an interview with Progress, the young 19-year-old attacking midfielder made strong remarks on the bad luck affecting the Greens, but also on the impeccable mentality of Claude Puel’s men who will not let go despite this very complicated period.
“We still lose on an error and a penalty. Even if sometimes we make missed or average matches, it’s boring to lose on decisions like that. Against PSG, the expulsion is severe. There, I think that Lucas (Gourna-Douath) is being pushed in the back and that there is a fault. I think that we play well lately but we are penalized by things like that. The two bars at the end of the match, that goes with the context. There is nothing that will. Having three big actions like that in such a short time, it is not given to everyone … We will say that it is a set. We must accept to eat his black bread. The good thing about this team is that no one gives up or cheats. We’re in bad luck. “ said Aouchiche.
Opposed to Stade Rennais this Sunday, AS Saint-Etienne will therefore try to resume its forward march in order to get out of this red zone. A match that promises to be complicated against a team from Rennes third in Ligue 1, and which will seek to rectify the situation after its home defeat against LOSC on Wednesday.
